James,
I tried the saa... Drivers simply because I was trying anything I could find online.
I will post the results to the two commands as soon as I can, however I believe the fault lies in that when I do a make, then make install, then reboot that nothing changes. Modinfo hdpvr shows the same thing as a fresh install.
(Fyi I tired doing make/make install at both /v4l-dvb and /v4l-dvb/v4l directories)

I am not sure why you want the saa7164 tree from kernel labs. The
saa7164 driver is for Hauppauge HVR-2250 (and HVR-2200) PCIe
ClearQAM/Analog MPEG2 recording cards. Just grab the main v4l-dvb
tree. If you have already grabbed the latest source and done a 'make',
'make install', and restart then you should have the newest driver.
There are ways to install and use the driver without a restart, but to
keep things simple I would recommend a restart. On my Mythbuntu 10.04
system I can see the new driver file in the modules directory like
this:
james at james-desktop:~$ ls -l /lib/modules/`uname
-r`/kernel/drivers/media/video/hdpvr
total 48
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 49024 2010-12-02 11:04 hdpvr.ko
I can also look at the time/date for the rest of the kernel modules as
installed by the Ubuntu package like this:
james at james-desktop:~$ ls -ld /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/m*
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2010-12-02 08:13
/lib/modules/2.6.32-26-generic/kernel/drivers/md
drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 2010-12-02 11:04
/lib/modules/2.6.32-26-generic/kernel/drivers/media
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 2010-12-02 08:13
/lib/modules/2.6.32-26-generic/kernel/drivers/memstick
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 2010-12-02 08:13
/lib/modules/2.6.32-26-generic/kernel/drivers/message
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2010-12-02 08:13
/lib/modules/2.6.32-26-generic/kernel/drivers/mfd
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 2010-12-02 08:13
/lib/modules/2.6.32-26-generic/kernel/drivers/misc
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 2010-12-02 08:13
/lib/modules/2.6.32-26-generic/kernel/drivers/mmc
drwxr-xr-x 10 root root 4096 2010-12-02 08:13
/lib/modules/2.6.32-26-generic/kernel/drivers/mtd
From the second command I can see that I installed the current kernel
package on 2010-12-02 08:13. I then recompiled the new drivers and
installed them on 2010-12-02 11:04. Post the output of those two
commands to make sure that the new driver is installed in the correct
place.
Cheers,
James
